AAAH! lol... talk about suspense. I told my husband that his passport would be sealed if it was approved and it would come with a letter. He didn't understand me. He thought I meant not to open the prepaid xpresspost envelope. SO I got a call from him and I couldn't hear anything. I couldn't get the phone to hang up... so when I did, I saw there was a voice mail telling me that there was a message. He told me he got the envelope, but no letter... soooo... anyways... I left a message with his dad that he can open the evelope, just not the passport if it is sealed and that is how we will know if he is approved or not. I also asked him to ask his dad if he could call me again. His dad said he would leave him the message. It has almost been an hour and... I still don't know! LOL... we have been waiting on this answer for sooooo long and we have it at our disposal and I still have to wait! AAAHH! LOL I will at least know if we were approved today or not!

He can open the Xpresspost envelope but not the mysterious brown envelope (MBE). The passport isn't sealed and will be separate from the MBE. Sure hope he doesn't open the wrong envelope! LOL

OMG! That is soo not funny. I can't get ahold of him. The message I left said not to open the passport, but the envelope was fine... I meant the xpresspost mailer and... I am feeling sooo.... I hate this not knowing and not being able to talk to him! Sorry, I don't mean to break down, but if I screw this all up over one wrong instruction.... I guess I just have to wait and see. Does it say do not open?

It will be sealed with tape and there is a piece of paper attached that says in HUGE PRINT - DO NOT OPEN -

SO hopefully he'll read the sheet that comes with the envelope. Tha passport will just be loose in the envelope, it'll just fall right out.
